Is this compatible with the 6-core AMD FX-6300?

yes, i have it running with a fx6300 as well as the 7850K apu both overclocked with no issues with voltage stability.

Yes but it depends on what Amd fx you are going to be using. (Fx6350, fx6300), what kind of radeon 4850 and what kind of fans

yes it will. you must use ddr3 memory though as well as forget about overclocking it on this board. if you do decide to use this with a 6300 turn turbo on and cool and quiet off or the chip will not throttle properly and never reach the 4.1 top speed. i have built 6 systems with this board and the 6300 this is from experience.

Yes it is compatible, I just found a compatibility list and this was one of the many supported. I purchased this to run with a i5 4670k and it even runs at the advertised MHz without adjusting. :)

Yes sir, it is compatible with that CPU. I have the Intel Core i5-2500 in my current build and it works like a dream!

Yes it is. It is compatible with all Intel LGA1155/LGA1156 and AMD AM3/Llano/AM3+ platforms. I would suggest also getting answers from several sources. /r/buildapc on reddit will be a great help to you.

Yes. There is no reason why it wouldn't be. I have it in an 8-core amd processor computer.

Sorry I couldn't say. I would trust the cpu compatibilty list but if you don't, you might email the manufacturer or something like that.

This has worked perfectly with my AMD processor (FX-4300). No issues have been encountered.

This will work with any AMD processor as long as the MOBO has a pci-e x16 1.0 slot or better. Also make sure your PSU has enough wattage! The manual recommends a power supply with at least 380 watts.

I don't know. The best I could tell you to do is going to Intel site and have it scan you computer for best compatible processor.

yep it's AMD Socket AMD3+ but to make sure 100% go to asrock website under AMD Socket Motherboard AMD3+ and check the CPU compability list http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme4/?cat=CPU

The bios version will depend on when the vendor received the board from Supermicro. The boards we have received all had the most recent, but that is no guarantee yours will.We are using a 6320 (8 core) in our Mobo. Your best source for CPU compatibility will be Supermicro at http://www.supermicro.com/Aplus/motherboard/Opteron6000/SR56x0/H8SGL-F.cfm

Updated: These are not compatible as the cpu has different pins than the mb socket. Yes, it is listed as being compatible with the Core i7 / i5 / i3 processors.

i think it is compatible with it but check the page of it http://www.asrock.com/mb/nvidia/n68-vs3%20fx/

It depends on what you plan on doing with your system. If you're just gaming, a 6300 will be fine. If you get a decent video card to match. But if you use a lot of programs that take advantage of multiple cores like the Adobe creative suite or video editing programs, you will definitely see a boost with 8 cores vs 6. But with the 6300 you can get away with buying a cheaper motherboard. Where as with the 8 core FX CPU's you need to get a better mobo with decent power delivery and cooling(990fx chipsets). So that will cost more too. I've been using my FX 6300 for 1080p gaming, and light content creation (making/editing videos for youtube) for about a year now. And it's been great. I bought an aftermarket Air cooler. I found that the stock cooler would run hot. Personally, now I'm looking to invest in a Corsair H80i. It's a decent all in one liquid cooler. And it even uses the stock AMD mounting hardware. (so no backplate installation needed. Bonus!)

Yes they are compatible. They are both AM3+ sockets. If you are doing a new build and not just updating your processor, I would recommend going with an FM2 processor and board. The AMD APU processors are really fast, and don't get as hot. If you decided to stay with this processor, make sure you have an exhaust fan, it does get hot in the case with the stock fan. This processor runs fast and hot under loads. If you plan on over clocking, get a bigger heatsink and fan!Hope this helps!
